Killed by Cars.

The number of unknown persons
killed by railroads is astonishing. Al
most every day one or two men are
killed within hundred miles of
Chicago, two being killed last Sun.
day by different roads in Chicago.
Last week Wednesday,, passengers on a
train to that city from here, saw litter
carried aboard the baggage car, q few
stations this side of the garden city, on
which was man just able to breath,
he having been knocked under the de-
pot platform in the night by the fast
mail. A patrol wagon was in waiting
at Chicago, to take the man to a hospi-
tai, where he died an hour later, no.
body knowing, and few caring who he
was. The most of the men killed are
tramps, stealing rides or walking on the
track. and usually they have nothing
about them to indicate who they are OF
where they belong, and if killed they
60 to the potters field. Each company
should engage man to furnish trampa
with check, giving their name and
address. Though man may be pretty
low down, there is always somebody
Interested in knowing his fate.

Mamma.

Sicily is the chief source of mama;
in that country the trees are cultivated
in plantations, and when about eight
years old they begin to yield. Cuts an
inch and half long are made in the
bark, cutting through to the wood.
One cut is made daily, beginning near
the bottom of the trunk, with each sue
ceeding cut about an inch above the
former one. The thick, syrup-like
juice exudes from the cuts and hardens
on the bark into white spongy flakes,
which when hard enough are removed
and dried still further before they are
packed for commerce. 1t consists
mainly of form of sugar called
mantle, and has mild laxative proper

Let the Girls Bangs Alone.

l wonder why it is that every one
the newspapers in particular-should
be SO 'down" upon bangs? I have
waited in silent indignation for some
of my sister women to speak up in de-
tense of the style, but, though they
have chung to it tenaciously-and with
good reason-none has dared to lift up
her voice against public (masculine)
opinion.
Now, I declare the fashion was both
sensible and becoming, though. of
course, like all other good things, cap
able of being carried to an extreme. A
young and pretty girl was positively
bewitching with her fluffy or straight
hair shading her smooth brow; while to
women not as young as they would like
to be it was a perfect boon to have the
softening effect of the dropping hair and
the lines of the forehead SO prettily hid
den.
1t must needs be young and pretty
face that looks we'll with the hair comb
ed smoothly back, while to the MAORI
ty of women the pompadour style gives
an unpleasantly bold look. E.
Besides, can't for the life of me see
why women should not be allowed to
comb their hair as they please without
such fuss being made over it. When
men took notion to have their heads
shaved as bald as baby's, and display
ing every bump, as if they had just
come from a phrenologist's, we all
knew it was ugly, yet you did not hear
us ranting about it in the newspapers,
or denying them religious privileges on
that account.
suppose it doesn't matter so much
about mems looks, only one likes fair
play, especially in free country

CURING HAY WITHOUT BLEACHING.

NOnAAN0 nA1 bLEACdlNCs
This is essential to the best quality
of hay. The common practice of let
ting the grass lie in the swath without
stirring is both slow and a wasteful
method of curing hay. When the yield
is large-as it generally will be under
good farm management--the upper
layer of grass will dry out and viii
sometimes become bleached by sun and
dew before the lower layer will be even
wilted. What we need to secure is
the rapid and uniform curing of the
entire swath of grass. For this pur-
pose the hay tedder is Invaluable.
Next to the mower and rake, consider
the tedder the most important nipple
ment in the bayfield,. It lifts, loosens,
and, to some extent, turns the grass,
thus exposing the damper portions
more fully to the sun and facilitating
the circulation of the air through the
entire mass. The tedder should be passed
over the utgrass more or less frequent
~ according to the rate of drying, but
as soon as the leaves become dry and
begin to break off it's use should be dis

An Emperor in Love.

The recently published corresponds
ence Of Queen Catherine of Westphalia
gives this description of Napoleon L,
just before his marriage with Maria
Louisa:
You have no conception, my dear
father, how enamored he is of his fut-
ure wife, His head is in blaze of ex-
element am unable to give an idea Of;
not day passes he does not send one
of his chamberlains charged like Mer-
curry with the messages of the great
Jupiter. He has shown me FIVE of
these epistles, which are not altogether
those of St. Paul. He says that when
he is married he will give peace to the
world and all his time to Zaire. To
show you to what pitch he is occupied
about the Archduchess I will tell you
that he has sent for tailors and shoe
makers and ordered them to dress him
with the utmost care,;,nd he is learning
to- waltz. These are things neither you
nor | could have imagined. 49,
The marriage took place the. lst of
April. The 18th she writes.
'''The Emperor has become invisible
for his family, and the Empress re-
ceives no one but the Queen of Naples;
all the other sisters and sisters-in-law
are kept out in the cold. You may
guess that in such a state of things it is
impossible to transact any important
business. No reply is given to re-
quest for audience, and my husband has
been able to see him only once since
we came to Campiegne.'
